Derrick was born July 9, 1965 in Kingston, ON to Carl and Margaret Shangraw. At the age of 3 years his family moved to Weyburn, SK where Derrick
resided most of his life. Derrick's greatest joy in life was the day his daughter Jacqueline was born , he was such a proud father then and the days that followed.

Growing up Derrick's greatest passion was his love for hockey. It didn't matter to him if it was rec hockey, street hockey or league hockey, mention the word and he was there to be your goalie. As he was growing up he found the love of cooking and baking and he was always ready to show you something new.
During the times of recuperating from his lung surgeries he came to love watching Nascar racing and later on started his own collection of Dale Earnhardt Senior and Junior along with Denny Hamlin items.
